The Schenectady Locomotive Works built railroad locomotives from its founding in 1848 through its merger into American Locomotive Company (Alco) in 1901.

After the 1901 merger, Alco made the Schenectady plant its headquarters in Schenectady, New York.

One of the better-known locomotives to come out of the Schenectady shops was Central Pacific Railroad type 4-4-0 No. 60, the Jupiter (built in September 1868), one of two steam locomotives to take part in the "Golden Spike Ceremony" to celebrate the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad.

Preserved Schenectady locomotives

Following is a list (in serial number order) of preserved Schenectady locomotives built before the Alco merger. All locations are in the United States unless otherwise noted.
